Since he agreed with Lin Mo's plan, to let Lu Jinfeng lead the way for the carriage, it would naturally be better to continue getting lost.
They circled around and around, making everyone feel dizzy.
Lin Mo was tossed about by the ticklish powder and soft powder for more than an hour before he finally caught up with them.
"Master Lin, seeing how tired you are, could something have happened over there?" Madam Li was careful, upon seeing this he passed him a towel and asked with concern.
"It's nothing. I just met a tiger that was too fierce. After killing it, I don't have much strength left." Lin Mo panted as he spoke, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
If he could, he didn't want to say a word.
His entire body went limp, and he was exhausted. All he could do was hang on in one breath.
That damned girl, it's fine that she drugged him, but she even drove the horse and car away, deliberately tormenting him.
After the potion was detoxified, he ran around for more before finally finding the party. He almost collapsed from exhaustion.
"Master Lin is such a hero." Madam Li was foolish, believing him immediately upon hearing his words, he praised him, "You even killed a tiger with your bare hands."
Chen Mu bit his lips, and smirked at Lin Mo.
This wretched person boasted shamelessly, saying that he had beaten a tiger to death with his bare hands. Was his face not the slightest bit red?
After being tortured by her medicinal properties for so long, he probably won't be able to use any of his strength anymore, right?
Lin Mo naturally noticed the look in her eyes. Although his heart was stifled, he did not dare to retaliate against her. He shifted his gaze away and simply saw nothing.
"You flatter me. I was lucky enough to win."
"Looking at Master Lin's skills, I wonder what he used to do?" Mrs Shen asked with interest after hearing Madam Li's praise.
"Running errands for a rich family in the capital." Lin Mo replied as his gaze indistinctly swept across the Mrs Shen. His eyelashes moved, and then covered the emotions that quickly flowed within his eyes.
Chen Mu Mu Mu had been staring at Lin Mo, and upon seeing his little movements, his heart froze.
Could it be that this fellow had his eyes on the Mrs Shen, and had some plans in mind?
After all, he had gone out with Madam Li and brought the mother and daughter back with him.
How could there be such a coincidence? Furthermore, after having analyzed Lin Mo's entire stomach full of evil tricks earlier, she had even begun to doubt —
It couldn't be that Lin Mo had also arranged this mother and daughter pair from Mrs Shen, right?
How could the Mrs Shen know Chen Mu Mu's thoughts? Hearing Lin Mo's words, she smiled warmly: "Master Lin is a straightforward person, but you are only running errands for a rich family. That would be a waste of your time."
"I am just a martial artist. I only know how to do these menial tasks. For those rich families to be willing to use me is already my honor." At this time, Lin Mo had already caught his breath and replied modestly.
"Master Lin is an extremely skilled man. If it is possible, I wonder if Master Lin would be willing to come to my house to be my guard, I am willing to give you one hundred silver coins per month."
This was a sky-high salary!
Chen Mu and Madam Li were immediately attracted and their eyes turned towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo laughed sinisterly, but just as he was about to speak, he heard someone call out: "Lu Jinfeng, don't run so fast, wait a moment."
This voice was very familiar. It sounded like that f * cking Qin Tianshui?
The corner of Chen Mu's eyebrows twitched, he lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Jade Fan Embroidered Clothing, smiling flirtatiously, who else could it be other than Qin Tiansei?
At this moment, Qin Tianli was sitting on a horse carriage. As he stuck his head out of the carriage, he was constantly waving at the group of people, telling them to ride faster.
Lu Jinfeng was not willing to get closer to him, so he drove the horse even faster.
Seeing that the driver's skill could not compare up to Lu Jinfeng, the two carriages got further and further away from each other, he directly leapt onto the roof of Chen Mu Mu's carriage and said smugly: "Lu Jinfeng, I told you to stop the carriage, but you didn't stop. Look, I caught you up already."
Due to the carriage's sudden acceleration, many people in the carriage suffered. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had just been jolted to the point where she was seeing stars. At this moment, she suddenly heard Qin Tianshui's voice from the roof of the carriage.
However, before she could open her mouth, someone had already spoken a step before her.
"Big brother, you're here!" Qin Muxu cheered as she lifted the carriage's curtain and waved to the man on the roof.
Brother?
Chen Mu Mu Mu opened his mouth and closed it quietly.
If she remembered correctly, Qin Tiansei was the prince of the Heavenly Clan, Qin Tiansei's sister. Wasn't she the princess?
Looking at the Mrs Shen, as the mother of a princess, what was the identity of the Mrs Shen …?
Chen Mu lowered his eyebrows as he felt gloomy in his heart.
Other people would be proud to have ties with the imperial family, but she didn't want to have any connections with the imperial family at all.
Firstly, the thoughts of the people in the royal family were very complicated. Just Qin Tianshui alone was enough to make her wish she could beat him back into the furnace and rebuild him. Moreover, the royal family would fight openly and covertly, with many dangers lurking around. It was possible that a wave of danger would surge towards them very soon.
Second, in ancient times, could it be that all the kingdoms in the world were not owned by the public, but owned by the private sector? The people of the royal family all believed themselves to be noble, and they were all subjects of the royal family.
As a young woman in this new era, sometimes, even when she didn't kneel to her parents, she still had to kneel to these ancient people?
Chen Mu Mu Mu expressed his annoyance.
As she thought about it, Shen Fei also reacted. If she did not stick her head out, then when Qin Muxu's voice fell, her elegant brows would knit together as she shouted, "Li Er, don't be rude, hurry up and get down."
"Mother, little sister." Qin Tiansei heard the sounds coming from the carriage, then looked at Qin Muxu as the corner of his mouth twitched, "Why are you guys here as well?"
He had gone out to tease his little lover, but had ended up teasing his own mother.
No matter how stubborn and mischievous Qin Tianshui was, he had no choice but to jump down from the roof and ran in front of Shen Fei.
"Today, when we were out with your sister, we ran into bandits and their followers were all killed. It was these heroes who saved us. We are now heading to the capital with them." Shen Fei said, "They owe a debt of gratitude to our family, quickly thank your benefactor."
"So it was you who saved my mother and my little sister." Qin Tiansei was an obedient child in front of his mother. He bowed to the people in the carriage and said, "Thank you, everyone. Qin Tiansei is extremely grateful. When we arrive at the capital, he will definitely prepare a great gift for you."
"To be able to meet her is fate. We are merely raising our hands. There is no need to thank her. There is no need for such a heavy gift." Madam Li hurriedly replied.
"Aunt really is beautiful and generous, kind and understanding." Qin Tianshui was naughty again as he smiled and said, "Being able to get to know aunty and the others is a blessing for mother and little sister. Once we arrive at the capital, we will definitely stay at our residence for a few days."
"I won't trouble you then, nephew." The Madam Li shook his head, "There's something else we need to do in the capital."
Anything else?
Qin Tianli's eyes flashed with a strange light as he waved his folding fan: "It's truly a pity, but since we've already arrived in the capital, if you're free, you should come visit our house."
Go to his house?
Did he use this word to think that he was going shopping?
Chen Mu Mu laughed, but raised his lips and poked Madam Li's arm.
Madam Li understood and nodded: "It's hard to refuse such kindness, we will go when we have time."
Of course, this was just a formality. Who would be willing to go shopping with the prince?
There was etiquette everywhere, there was depression everywhere.
After saying that, the Shen Fei's gaze turned towards Qin Tiansei as he asked with some doubt: "Li Er, do you know the Li Family's younger sister?"
"Naturally." Qin Tiansei gave a smile that wasn't a smile as he glanced at the silent Chen Mu Mu Mu. "Roughly two months ago, Chen Liang and I went over to Linzhou City realm scouts and stayed with my aunt for a period of time."
It could not be considered to be a period of time as he had not even stayed two days when the emperor passed away. He had already left for the capital.
"There's actually such a destiny. Sister Li, it seems like our meeting has already been predestined." The Shen Fei said to the Madam Li with a smile.
"That must be it." The Madam Li replied with a smile.
Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries as he closed his eyes to rest.
Qin Tiansei was unwilling to allow her to be invisible. After greeting her politely, he ran over and harassed her, "Miss Chen, how long has it been since we last met, you already pretend not to recognize me?"
It wasn't that he didn't know her, but that he didn't want to know her.
Chen Mu Mu Mu opened his eyes and nodded his head, "Greetings, Young Master Qin."
"At that time, you were still calling me Big Bro Tiansei. After turning around, you immediately turned hostile." Qin Tiansei sighed as he shook his head, "Girl, you're simply heartless."
There was someone else in the carriage, so when the Shen Fei heard this, his gaze turned towards Chen Mu Mu Mu.
"Li Er, between you and Lady Chen, it seems … "Very familiar?"
The imperial family valued etiquette the most. Seeing how Qin Tiansei spoke in such a sloppy and ambiguous manner, the Shen Fei couldn't help but think a little more about it.
"He's quite familiar with it." Qin Tiansei's eyes became even more dubious. "Miss Chen, don't you think so?"
They were so familiar with each other that they were already being honest with each other.
When Chen Mu Mu Mu saw the look in Qin Tianshui's eyes, he remembered the day he peeked at her while she was taking a bath and a mouthful of blood was splattered on her chest. Immediately after, he looked at her and laughed: "Mrs Shen, in the past, when I was at the Linzhou City, I was taken care of by Young Master Qin for a few times, and thus I was able to recognize him as my brother.
Although he did not know the situation at that time, Shen Fei still knew why Qin Tiansei left in such a hurry.
When he heard Chen Mu Mu's words, a lonely look quickly flashed across his eyes. When he saw his son's expression, his eyes faintly trembled as he said: "Since you two are fated to be like this, why not choose another day? Today, we shall be sworn siblings."
Didn't he curse all the lovers in the world to become siblings?
Qin Tiansei shook his head. "Mother, please don't give us any orders. Miss Chen's mouth is full of nonsense. With our identities, it would be difficult for us to identify our loved ones."
Shen Fei's expression froze for a moment, and he nodded his head in embarrassment: "Then it's up to you."
Qin Muliu's large eyes roamed around as he stared at Qin Tiansei and Chen Mumu. After a while, he tugged at Qin Tiansei's sleeve and said, "Big brother's words are reasonable. I also think that it's not good for big brother to be sworn brothers with Lady Chen."
